A natural neuroprotective system of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury
Despite important advances in obstetric and neonatal care over the last 10 years, perinatal hypoxic-ischemic events still lead to significant mortality and morbidity in neonates. Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury often causes a dyskinetic cerebral palsy.

Tuberculosis prevention boosts drug resistance
Using a single drug called isoniazid to prevent tuberculosis or TB may unintentionally give an advantage to more dangerous, drug-resistant strains of the bacteria -- especially in communities with a high prevalence of HIV, a new modeling study reports. The findings may prompt reconsideration of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) current policy on the double use of isoniazid for both the prevention and treatment of TB.

Chronic exercise training reduces neurotoxicity caused by lead acetate exposure
The central nervous system has been recognized as a primary target for lead-induced toxicity. Lead readily crosses the blood brain barrier, induces several brain alterations leading to encephalopathy, cellular damage, and reduced axonal and dendritic development.

Fox Chase researchers find some lung cancers linked to common virus
WASHINGTON, DC (April 10, 2013)—A common virus known to cause cervical and head and neck cancers may also trigger some cases of lung cancer, according to new research presented by Fox Chase Cancer Center at the AACR Annual Meeting 2013 on Wednesday, April 10.

Diagnostic method using genomics may help identify organisms in outbreak of serious infectious disease
In an analysis of the 2011 outbreak in Germany of Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli using metagenomics (the direct sequencing of DNA extracted from microbiologically complex samples), researchers were able to reconstruct an outbreak strain genome sequence, findings that suggest the potential of this approach to indentify and characterize bacterial pathogens more rapidly than with culture-based methods, according to a study in the April 10 issue of JAMA, a genomics theme issue.

Use of various CT imaging methods for diagnosis of acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease
Transient ischemic attack and cerebral infarction are the main types of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases in the clinic. Many patients with transient ischemic attack finally develop complete cerebral stroke because of severe vascular stenosis or occlusion. So early diagnosis and treatment of transient ischemic attach is very important.

Dengue virus structural variability in human and mosquito hosts
Dengue virus has different structures at the temperatures of its human and mosquito hosts, according to a study with implications for the development of a dengue virus vaccine. Michael G. Rossmann and colleagues used cryo-electron microscopy to analyze how the structure of dengue virus changes between room temperature, which is the temperature of mosquitoes, and 37 degrees Celsius, or human body temperature.

Effect of wine grape production on biodiversity hotspots
The demand for wine on a warming Earth might have an impact on sensitive biodiversity hotspots, a study finds. To assess the ecological impacts of looming shifts in agriculture, Lee Hannah and colleagues examined how projected climate change might affect wine grape production, an industry sensitive to climate and concentrated in Mediterranean biodiversity hotspots.

How monarch butterflies know where to migrate
A study suggests that monarch butterflies are not true navigators, which possess both an internal "map" and "compass" and know their geographical location and which direction to travel, but rather are vector navigators, which lack a map and orient themselves using only a compass. During their first weeks of life, monarch butterflies in eastern North America migrate up to 4,000 km to overwintering sites in Mexico.

Sea urchin evolution as an adaptation to ocean acidification
Ocean acidification, caused by rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), leads to significant genetic change in purple sea urchins, according to a study. Melissa Pespeni and colleagues raised sea urchin larvae in tanks exposed to either ambient CO2 levels or CO2 levels elevated to those expected in the future.

Bubble plumes related to gas hydrate
Gas hydrate is very important for energy resource and strategy. Most of plumes discovered in the world are related with gas hydrate. Plumes are numerically simulated by seismic methods, and researches related to gas hydrate are carried out. It provides a new idea for the identification of hydrate.

FIREHAWK long stents showed good safety and efficacy
The 9-month angiographic and 1-year clinical outcomes of the long-cohort of TARGET I trial demonstrated the efficacy and safety of FIREHAWK biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent for the treatment of long coronary lesions. The in-stent late lumen loss (LLL) was 0.16±0.16 mm at 9-month post PCI which is comparable with previous FIM study (LLL = 0.16±0.07 mm) . No death, Q wave MI, in-stent thrombosis occurred at 1-year post PCI.

Relationship of interleukin-6-572C/G promoter polymorphism and serum levels
Total of 437 patients who successfully underwent PCI with a follow-up angiography were enrolled. We aimed to investigate the serial changes in serum IL-6 levels before and after PCI and relationship between -572C/G polymorphism and ISR. Our results showed that IL-6 is an early post-PCI inflammatory cytokine, and one-day post-PCI IL-6 level is an independent risk factor for restenosiscarrying the -572G allele is likely to increase an individual’s susceptibility to ISR by promoting IL-6 levels.
